VIDEO: The REAL Cannibal Holocaust (WARNING, VERY GRAPHIC)

The 17 Craziest Cannibal Attacks in History

List Criteria: Violent cannibals from a culture where it isn’t normal or accepted. Only attacks with intent to eat.

Cannibalism is one of the strangest and most disgusting crimes a person can possibly commit. This is a list about the craziest real-life cannibal attacks that have ever happened, either in a single incident or over a series of years (and sometimes, decades). All the famous cannibals on this list killed people with intent to eat or at least cook their victims. I’ve excluded people like the tribes of the West Indies and Maori tribes and other cultures where [sic] cannibalism was just a part of life.

The real cannibals on this list committed these crimes while living within the rules of Western society and all of the crimes on this list were horribly violent. These are the worst, most depraved, and most well-known famous cannibals and cannibalistic serial killers in human history.

Number One: Mom Tries to Eat Newborn Baby

24-year-old Li Zhenghua was spotted chewing on her newborn son’s arm just minutes after giving birth. A nurse found the new mom with her teeth locked around the baby’s wrist. Hospital staff were eventually able to pry the woman’s mouth open and rescue the little boy, but not before he sustained heavy bruising and bleeding.

Zhenghua is suspected to have been living on the streets for several weeks after her mother kicked her out of the house despite being pregnant.
